I like envisioning someone with stacks of these looped to their belt like cams on a trad-climber’s rack.

Do you think they had a proto carabiner to carry these?

  Probably a loop of leather with a simple clasp.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
